How do I edit a profile to remove bad add-ons?

[walkerpbus]

The subject says it all. I've done this so few times, I can't remember how. Thunderbird now hangs with [url]chrome://calendar/content/widgets/calendar-list-tree.xml:3[/url] which I've searched the whole PC for & is not here since I've uninstalled Chrome for too many ads.

Start Thunderbird in safe mode by holding down the shift key when you double click on the Thunderbird shortcut. That will temporarily disable all add-ons, giving you a chance to delete some using tools -> add-ons.

"In a browser, the chrome is any visible aspect of a browser aside from the webpages themselves (e.g., toolbars, menu bar, tabs). This is not to be confused with the Google Chrome browser". I suspect the Lightning add-on is the culprit as it would want to add a calendar widget. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Chrome_URLs
